The Lord Works Marvels for Us All
Hymn for the life and ministry of Pope Leo XIV
The Lord works marvels for us all!
His words and deeds our hearts recall
And come to know His saving ways
In thankfulness and quiet praise.
The world, in need of Jesus Christ,
Who for our sake was sacrificed,
Awaits the word we have been taught:
The news of what His blood has bought.
Then let us pray in joy and hope
For Leo, universal Pope,
That God will give him grace to bear
The cross of all the Churches’ care.
O Beauty, ancient, ever new,
Make him a light that leads to You.
Let Peter’s message sound abroad:
Christ Jesus is the Son of God.
And Mary, too, our hearts implore,
By the Incarnate God she bore,
Who saved her as she came to be,
To guide Pope Leo’s ministry.
O God the Father, Spirit, Son,
In Whom alone we live as one,
Bring us, bring all, to share Your peace,
And let Your grace and truth increase.
